“Advertek has been on a strategic growth initiative to enhance its market position and emphasize the power of its single-source offering in a fragmented industry that is calling for stability and progressive continuity,” said Montalbano. “Our foremost commitment is to our clients, staff and vendor partners.”

“SLG’s sales, customer service and operating resources have been instrumental in having their clients put their trust in the company’s product offering,” said Spina. “Clients of both companies can expect it to be business as usual, but with a broader suite of services, skills and solutions to meet the growing demands and complexities of the industry.”

In November 2010, Advertek began operating out of a new, custom-built 30,000-square-foot plant in Vaughan, Ontario. Montalbano and Spina took over Advertek’s ownership in 1999. At the time, Advertek was an 8-employee shop running a 4-colour Solna press. Today, the company has one of the most modern commercial printing facilities in Greater Toronto.
